16. Sister-in-law
Kim Taehyung
“Let’s explore the mall floor by floor. I want to buy something,”
*said as he resourcefully pondered on how he could butter up Jungkook.*
He needed a way to make his request to stay over at his place for the weekend and feel less abrupt.
The two people wandered around the mall, passing one display window after another. As Taehyung walked and walked, he tried to think of what small gift he could buy Jungkook that would open the door for his request. He needed a gift that would be too embarrassing for Jungkook to refuse.
However, even after looking at this and that, he still didn’t know what to buy. The school was very strict and checked their clothes thoroughly, from the uniform jacket to the shirt beneath and the student’s trousers – all must belong to the school uniform. You could only pick out your own shoes, but Jungkook already had many. As for gifts like belts, lighters, cologne, or razors, these were not appropriate gifts for one student to give to another…
Kim Taehyung
*Deep in thought*
Kim Taehyung
*His gaze was suddenly drawn to a small store with an exquisite façade. It looked like a high- end stationery shop. Judging from the interior décor you could tell that the things sold inside would not be cheap. *
Giving stationery is definitely not inappropriate, just need to pick one with the right price. A lightbulb went on in Taehyung’s head and he pulled Jungkook into the store. They stopped before a row of dip pens imported from Japan. This kind of dip pen was made of glass and had a very slender body with a spiral for a nib. Each pen had different vibrant or elegant colors worked into the gorgeous glass. The pens shone brilliantly under the light above the display cabinet. The prices of the pens varied from hundreds to thousands of yuan. They wrote similarly to fountain pens but were much better looking, making them a good present to give someone.
Kim Taehyung
“Does this one look good?”
*picked up a dip pen that had a white feathery pattern twining all throughout its glass body.*
Jeon Jungkook
“Pretty good,”
*nodded.*
Jeon Jungkook
“Do you want to practice your handwriting?”
Kim Taehyung
“No, no matter how much I practice my handwriting will always be bad.”
*was a little embarrassed and he timidly averted his eyes.* ”
Kim Taehyung
*His voice got smaller and smaller as he continued*
“I wanted to give this to you…”
Jeon Jungkook
*Took the sample pen without batting an eyelid and said*
“Then just get this one.”
Kim Taehyung
*Sighed softly in relief, thinking that it was good Jungkook didn’t bother to ask him why he suddenly wanted to give him a gift. With that, he quickly walked to the other side of the display cabinet and raised his hand to beckon Jungkook*
Kim Taehyung
“They also have colored ink over here, what color do you like?”
Jeon Jungkook
*Took the sample dip pen with him as he followed Taehyung and countered*
“Which one do you like?”
Kim Taehyung
*Pointed up with his finger to a colorful name tag and said without thinking*
Kim Taehyung
“A street full of blooming cherry blossoms…”
Right after she finished serving another customer, the salesperson quickly came over and handed them a notebook with which to try the pen.
A girl
Salesperson: *unscrewed the sample bottle of colored ink that Taehyung had pointed to and enthusiastically said*
“Do you like this color? You can try it out here.”
Jeon Jungkook
*Put the notebook on the counter and dipped the pen in the pink ink.*
Jeon Jungkook
*He raised his eyebrows as he said*
“This color is very suitable for writing love letters.”
Then, Jungkook wrote seven big and beautiful words on the top-left corner of the page “To The Little Sticky cake Taehyung”.
Kim Taehyung
*Ears burned and he hurriedly said*
“What are you doing writing about me…”
Jeon Jungkook
“Then I’ll write about myself.”
Jungkook readily followed Taehyung’s advice and wrote four big words on the bottom-right corner of the page, the usual place for the sender “Your deskmate Jungkook”.
It really looked like he was writing a love letter to Taehyung…
Kim Taehyung
*Protested*
“Hey!”
Jeon Jungkook
*Tore out the page and gave it to Taehyung*
“A love letter for you.”
Kim Taehyung
*Blushed and cursed him*
Kim Taehyung
“You’re crazy ah!”
After cursing out Jungkook, Taehyung stared for a moment at the eleven beautiful words on the page. With a fuming face, he folded the paper several times and shoved it into the side pocket of his bag.
The characters were written so beautifully that he loathe to ruin them by throwing the page away!
A girl
Salesperson: *Looked at Taehyung, then looked at Jungkook, and though she pursed her lips she couldn’t help but laugh.*
Jeon Jungkook
“I want this color ink and this pen.”
Jeon Jungkook
*Smiled back at the young salesperson and said*
“Could I trouble you to bring me new ones, please?”
A girl
Salesperson: “Okay, please wait a moment.”
*turned around and left.*
Kim Taehyung
*Looked around uneasily, his eyes sweeping from the ceiling to the floor as he said*
“I picked that color at random, you can pick another. No matter how I think about it, a man using pink ink is very very gay…”
Jeon Jungkook
*The corners of his lips raised as he laughed*
“I just want to be very very gay.”
Kim Taehyung
*Shocked and remained speechless for a while.*
After wrapping the new pen and ink nicely, the salesperson led them to the checkout counter. Taehyung took his wallet out from his bag. While he was counting out bills to pay, Jungkook was already a step ahead of him and had paid the full amount.
Kim Taehyung
“Didn’t I say that I was buying that for you?”
*said urgently.*
Kim Taehyung
(Are you not going to let me make a good impression!.)
Jeon Jungkook
“In my heart, you gave this to me.”
Jeon Jungkook
*Took his change and shoved it into his pocket, picked up the fancy bag that held the dip pen and ink bottle, and said*
“Let’s go, when we get back I’ll write you a letter.”
After speaking, Jungkook strode out of the stationery store leaving Taehyung to run to keep up with him.
Kim Taehyung
*Unwilling to let the matter go, he complained*
“I clearly told you I’d be paying before you bought it…”
Jeon Jungkook
*Turned around suddenly.*
Kim Taehyung
*Almost couldn’t stop himself from crashing straight into Jungkook’s embrace.*
Jeon Jungkook
*Stretched out his arm and scratched the tip of Taehyung’s nose. He smiled and said*
“Listen. I haven’t given you anything, how could I let you buy me a gift first? Isn't it.”
He thought that something wasn’t quite right about what Jungkook said. Between friends, it shouldn’t matter who gave something to whom first. Jungkook’s words seemed more appropriate in the context of a boyfriend and girlfriend’s relationship. Taehyung thought again about the fake love letter inside his bag and his mind became a little disordered.
Kim Taehyung
*Dazed for a while.*
Suddenly, Jungkook leaned over slightly, coming in close to Taehyung’s ear, and asked in a soft voice.
Jeon Jungkook
“Do you still remember that dream?”
Jeon Jungkook
*Continued with a smile that was yet not a smile*
“The dream about ghosts disco-dancing on their own graves.”
Kim Taehyung
*Stared at him resentfully.*
Jeon Jungkook
*Asked in a flirtatious voice*
“Still scared?”
Kim Taehyung
(Yes ah! I’m scared to death! Why do you have to remind me!)
Kim Taehyung
*Though he was terrified inside, he snorted disdainfully and said*
“How could I be?”
Jeon Jungkook
*Was unperturbed as he stated*
“If you’re not scared, good.”
The two people took several steps side-by-side before Taehyung pulled on Jungkook’s sleeve and asked.
Kim Taehyung
“Are your parents home today?”
Jeon Jungkook
*Shook his head.*
Jeon Jungkook
“I just sent a text message to my mom; they have to entertain clients at a hot springs resort. They can’t come home today and tomorrow they’re unlikely to as well.”
Kim Taehyung
*So excited he almost jumped for joy. With an ulterior motive, he asked*
“That villa of yours, how many bedrooms does it have?”
Kim Taehyung
*Awkwardly said*
“So many.”
Jeon Jungkook
*Almost laughed.*
Jeon Jungkook
*He thought it was amusing that Taehyung clearly wanted to stay over but kept beating around the bush. He couldn’t help but want to tease him more*
Jeon Jungkook
*So he quickly put on a neutral expression and said indifferently* “Yeah.
Kim Taehyung
*Felt embarrassed and went silent for a moment. Then, he forced himself to press forward and ask*
“The bed in your bedroom, is it a double bed?”
Jeon Jungkook
*shook his head, paused, then said*
“It’s a three-person bed.”
Kim Taehyung
*Faintly said*
“…That’s very big.”
Kim Taehyung
(Isn’t it already obvious by now, why can’t this asshole just invite me over!? )
Jeon Jungkook
*Stretched out his arm and wrapped it around Taehyung’s waist before quickly releasing him, saying*
Jeon Jungkook
“It’s quite big. You’re so slim, if you slept there, several of you could fit.”
Kim Taehyung
*Heart skipped a beat.*
Kim Taehyung
“What do you mean?”
Jeon Jungkook
*Black eyes carried a clearly amused expression as he looked over at Taehyung and said*
“Do you want to come over to my house?”
Kim Taehyung
*Overjoyed but he forced himself to suppress his smile as he calmly replied*
“Sure all back home, I’ll be alone anyway.”
Although his tone was very calm, his eyes were shining brightly like pearls! He looked as if he was itching to eat Jungkook!
Jeon Jungkook
“Be good.” *rubbed Taehyung’s head and pointed to an arcade that was not too far away.*
“Let’s play for a while before going back?”
Kim Taehyung
“Okay!”
*His heart felt as if it had been freed from a heavy burden. Feeling very relieved, he flew like a little bird to buy arcade tokens!*
The two played shooting and car racing games for a while. After being completely annihilated, Taehyung, with ill intentions, dragged Jungkook to a music game machine. Selecting the highest difficulty, he relied on his level 10 piano-playing skills as he quickly moved his hands across the console to make a tyrannical comeback. Jungkook was beaten very badly but he was very happy all the same.
Jeon Jungkook
*Looking at Taehyung’s small, proud figure with his chin held up high really made him want to use all his power to hug Taehyung and nibble at him a little.*
At last, their remaining tokens were all used up. Jungkook called a taxi through an app on his phone and the two left the mall. After getting in the taxi, the car quickly drove in the direction of Nanshan Street.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at Jungkook’s house.
Jungkook opened the door. Sure enough, nobody was home. Accompanied by the sound of happy footsteps, a little dog rushed to Jungkook with a joyful shake of its head and tail wagging at full speed. The dog was quite big and cute and had a energetic feature. It was a black and brown doberman pincher.
Doberman are a very affectionate breed and since the two came home, it wouldn’t stop pouncing on Jungkook’s calf. Jungkook had to use one hand to hug the dog as he took out a pair of slippers for Taehyung with the other.
Kim Taehyung
“How amusing, isn't it a cute little baby.”
*he really liked animals. He reached out and lightly tweaked the Doberman’s pink ear.*
Kim Taehyung
“Is it female?”
The dog gave a charming bark.
Kim Taehyung
*Silently put his slippers on*
“……”
Kim Taehyung
(I have to say, why is it that even the dog at your house seems very gay?)
Jeon Jungkook
“His name is Bam.”
Jeon Jungkook
*Kissed the Bam’s forehead then pointed at Taehyung*
“This is your Saozi.”
Kim Taehyung
*Confused*
“How did I become his Saozi?”
Jeon Jungkook
“The dog and I have the same birthday, 1 Sep. He’s younger than me by thirteen years. Mom said that because we have the same birthday, she will also call him her son. Every year, my birthday cake includes a portion for him.”
Taehyung’s interest was piqued, but he didn’t dare to look at Jungkook.
Kim Taehyung
*He picked up a dog toy from the floor and bent over to play with the dog while he mockingly called out*
“Ai, Jungkook’s brother.”
Jeon Jungkook
*Asked out of the blue*
“Do you know my horoscope?”
Never having been interested in horoscopes, the little straight guy shook his head and guessed.
Kim Taehyung
“No, is it Virgo?”
Jeon Jungkook
“No, it’s Cancer.”
Kim Taehyung
*Replied disinterestedly*
“Oh.”
Jeon Jungkook
*Lowered his eyes to look at the nape of Taehyung’s fair neck and said with a smile*
“Cancer men look after their family and dote on their wives.”
Jungkook’s tender and deep voice entered Taehyung’s ears, making his heart stir with an indescribable bashfulness. He uneasily tossed the dog toy around, throwing it back and forth between his hands.
Kim Taehyung
*After playing for a while, he replied*
“That’s very good ah, in the future whoever marries you will be blessed.”
